See every featureSelling custom caps usually means long email threads. Merch Designer 3D adds a 3D designer to your online store. Customers choose a cap model and colours for every part, pick the closure, and add embroidered text or a logo to the front, sides or back. They then send a quote request with quantity, a preview image and a design file. You see every request in the app and also receive it by email.
Charm Builder lets your customers design their own charm necklaces, bracelets and anklets right on your product pages. They pick a chain length and metal, then add letters, birthstones and charms while seeing a live preview and running price. You add your own metals, chains, charms and prices, and style the builder to match your store.
